Spacious and Encourages Reading!!
We recently purchased this bookcase for our daughter’s room as she has many books! The bookcase came very quickly and hardware/instructions were right on the top before even getting to the parts. The best thing is that this was insanely easy to put together and is real wood so very sturdy and will last a long time. The scallops are so adorable and the entire bookcase is kid-friendly with no sharp corners!! Books can be put like a display and it truthfully does encourage reading – my daughter opted to read a book versus take her TV time after school and I have caught her just quietly reading on her bed in the mornings since we got this bookcase. With all the books we already have, there is STILL more room for additional books due to how the shelves sit. It’s both roomy and also doesn’t take up alot of space which is great for a kid’s room. Total game changer and a beautiful piece of furniture!

My daughter loves, loves, loves this bookshelf!!
This is the most adorable bookshelf. It took me about 30 minutes to assemble it. It was worth it. We anchored it to the wall in her playroom and it’s low enough that she can pull down what book or item she wants to read and play with. It definitely engages her and we love that it encourages her to read and explore, and choose items for herself.

Great quality, easy assembly, holds a lot of books
Great quality wood, heavy and sturdy, not rough to touch, no concern for splinters on little hands. Very easy to assemble. Holds a lot more books than expected. Looks great in our living room. Love the forward facing design of books so kiddos can easily find something they want to read! A little expensive for a small shelf in my opinion but overall thrilled to have something cute to organize and display our books on!

Cute but damaged 🙁
The bookshelf is cute and seems well made. But there was some spots with damage and one part that the screw holes didnât align and made the shelf wobble. I tried to contact seller to get replacement parts but it keeps sending me to amazon chat and they keep telling me they can only initiate a return and I can get a refund. But the shelf is no longer available so I just want to get a replacement for the parts that need it. Especially for the amount the shelf cost, I wouldâve expected better quality. Hoping the seller sees this and is willing to help me with some replacement parts

Scalloped Bookshelf
This bookshelf is the perfect addition to my daughterâs nursery. I love how the scalloped detail gives it a girly touch. Easy to assemble and paintable! I loved it in the wood color, but I wanted a pop of color in her room since the walls are tan.Such a cute way to display books!
